Award of Share Options

 

The Board of Xtract announces that on 25 March 2026, the Company awarded 35,600,000 new options (representing 2.99 per cent. of the current issued share capital) to Directors and a further 44,100,000 new options (representing 3.71 per cent. of the current issued share capital) to employees, consultants and other officers of the Company.

The new options vest in three (3) tranches: (i) One-third vests immediately on award; (ii) one-third  vests upon the commencement of production at the Silverking Mine; and (iii) one-third vests on 1 November 2026. The new options have an exercise price of 1.40p per new Ordinary Share. The new options will lapse five years after the date of the award, being 25 March 2031. The exercise price represents a 55 per cent. premium to the mid-market closing price of 0.90p per Ordinary Shares as at 24 March 2025, and a 40 per cent. premium to the 30-day volume weighted average share price 1.00p for the 30 trading days ended 24 March 2026.  Further details of the new options awards are as follows:
